A 2017 medical document released Wednesday by Karen Monahan said she feared "Retribution" if she revealed her allegations of abuse against her former boyfriend, Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison.
Ms. Monahan posted the Minnesota clinic's write-up from her visit to corroborate her accusations of physical and emotional abuse made public in August, which Mr. Ellison has denied.
The document from the Park Nicollet clinic dated Nov. 28, 2017, said she was being treated for anemia and that she attributed it to the stress from her relationship with Mr. Ellison, which he has said ended in 2016.
The medical report continued, "She identifies the individual she was involved with as congressmen [sic] Ellison, and she is worried about retribution if she identifies him publicly."
Mr. Ellison, who is giving up his congressional seat to run for Minnesota attorney general, issued a statement last month confirming the relationship but denying that he abused Ms. Monahan, a Sierra Club organizer.
The Democratic National Committee said initially it was "Reviewing" the allegations, but DNC chairman Tom Perez later said he had deferred to the Minnesota DFL. The allegations emerged after Ms. Monahan's son Austin Monahan said in a Aug. 11 Facebook post that Mr. Ellison had put his mother through "Pure hell" and said he had discovered a video of the congressman dragging his mother from bed and screaming at her.
Mr. Ellison has denied that the video exists, and Ms. Monahan has said she will not release the video.
